Trans-Siberian Orchestra Proves Kids Being Robbed.

No, this is not a slam on TSO. This is a review of the 2003 Concert series. Last night, on the 7th of December, TSO played the FLEET CENTER. That's right you little townie pieces of trash, FLEET CENTER!!! The show was phenomenal.

Every year TSO does a great Christmas Program, but this year was over the top. It started with "First Snow" and never looked back. The first song actually played was "Boughs Of Holly" - when I say it started at "First Snow" - I mean the suprises.

The opening riffs were played and the song broke out into full throttle. A rig above the stage exploded in snowfall and lazers were fired from backstage into the arena in tempo with the music creating a musical experience I am SURE shocked many kids right into adult hood.

Beethoven's 5th was an exploding musical triumph with balls of fire shooting upward during climactic points in the song, lazers shining everywhere.

During the grand finale final notes, flames - 20 feet high - shot up from the stage while showers of sparks fell from the rig above the stage. In an explosive conclusion TSO ended a perfect night of Christmas music and lots of flare.

And all for $51.00 for CHOICE seats. Why are people paying similar amounts to see Godsmack, Disturbed, and whatever other band is considered cool for not even a quarter of the show? I have no idea, and after last night, I'm sure either did the kids in the audience.
